For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize
the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING!
• Read all instructions before using the washer.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with
gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
• Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or
other flammable or explosive substances to the
wash water. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, before
using the washing machine, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the washer.
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children.
• Before the washer is removed from service or
discarded, remove the door to prevent children
from hiding inside.
• Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the washer
or attempt any servicing unless specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions or published user-repair instructions
that you understand and have the skills to carry
out.
• See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
• ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions
supplied by the garment manufacturer.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in
your washer. Items contaminated with cooking
oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that
could cause a load to catch fire.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to
eliminate static unless recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

Installation clearances
The location must be large enough to fully open
the washer door.
Washer dimensions
• Most installations require a minimum
10 cm clearance behind the washer.
Minimum installation spacing for recessed
area installation.
The following dimensions shown are for the
minimum spacing allowed.
Additional spacing should be considered for
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances might be required
for wall, door and floor moldings.
• Additional spacing of 2.5 cm on all
sides of the washer is recommended to
reduce noise transfer.
Companion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
[Front view]
[Side view]
Level floor
• Allowable slope under entire washer is 1°.
• To minimize noise and vibration, the washer
MUST be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
• Carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not
recommended.
• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.
NOTE: A firm, solid floor is even more critical to a front-
loading washer than to a top-loader.
If your floor is wood and/or frame construction, you
may need to reinforce it. Front-loaders use
substantially faster spin speeds than top-loaders,
causing greater vibration. If the floor is not solid,
your washer will vibrate. You will hear and feel the
vibration throughout your house.
Power outlet
Must be within 60 in. (1.5 m) of either side of the
washer. Do not overload the outlet with more
than one appliance.
Time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the
customer to have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

Level adjustment
1. Adjusting the washing machine level
properly prevents excessive noise and
vibration.
Install the appliance on a solid and level
floor surface, preferably in a corner of the
room.
NOTE: Extend the feet no more than necessary
to level the washer. The more the feet are
extended, the more the washer will
vibrate.
2. If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable
feet as required. (Do not insert pieces of
wood etc. under the feet)
Make sure that all four feet are stable and
resting on the floor and then check that the
appliance is perfectly level.
(Use a spirit level)
After the washer is level, tighten the lock
nuts up towards of the base of the washer.
All lock nuts must be tightened.
NOTE: If there are vibration and noise during
the spin cycle, re-check the leveling of
the washer, adjust the feet as required,
and tighten the lock nuts securely to
prevent changes in adjustment.
Run the washer with a test load to make
certain your washer is properly leveled.
Put approximately 6 pounds of laundry
in the machine. Then, press POWER,
RINSE+SPIN, and START/PAUSE, in
that order. When the machine spins at
high speed, verify that it is stable. If not,
adjust

1. Fabric Care Labels
Look for a care label on your clothes. This will tell you about the fabric content of your
garment and how it should be washed.
2. Sorting
To get the best results, sort clothes into loads that can be washed with the same wash
cycle.
Different fabrics need to be washed in different ways.
Always sort dark colors from pale colors and whites. Wash separately as dye and lint
transfer can occur causing discoloration of white clothing. If possible, do not wash
heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones.
Soil (Heavy, Normal, Light) Separate clothes according to amount of soil.
Color (White, Lights, Darks) Separate white fabrics from colored fabrics.
Lint (Lint Producers, Collectors) Wash lint producers and lint collectors separately.
3. Check before loading
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.
Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.
Do not wash single items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar
items.
• Check all the pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Things such as clip, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your
washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and strings to make
sure that these items do not snag on other
clothes.
• Pretreat dirt and stains by brushing a little
detergent dissolved in water onto stains like
collars and cuffs to help lift dirt.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
NOTE: Do not wash or spin water-proof clothes.

used.
Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to
pretreat stains,
sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size
and soil level of the load.
For best results, avoid using too much detergent.
• Add detergent to this compartment
when using the Prewash option.
Liquid or powdered detergent may
be used in this compartment. The
detergent will automatically be
dispensed during Prewash if the
Prewash option is selected.
• Add 1/2 the recommended amount
of detergent to the Prewash
compartment and the
recommended amount of detergent
to the main wash compartment.
NOTE : Liquid detergent will drain
into the washer drum as it is
added.

The washing drum
• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously builds up in places where
it cannot be seen
and it is not easily removed from the drum.
Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these
will eventually
have to be replaced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused
by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.
• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for
washing machine use.
• Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.
• Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
• Never use steel wool.
